We’re proud of our dedicated community school teachers.

The majority of whom come from the local community in which they teach and act as role models to those they serve. To achieve and maintain our standards, all Bridge teachers must pass our rigorous selection process and complete training at their Kenya Bridge Teacher Training Institute— in addition to qualification(s) and previous teaching experience.

The Bridge Teacher Training programme produces great teachers through a combination of intensive induction training at our training institute and then a carefully designed programme of ongoing support.

We believe that simply gaining a qualification is not enough for teachers to continue to grow, develop and evolve.

Great teachers equal great classrooms and that it’s essential to empower and support teachers on an ongoing basis.

We actively recruit for our community schools in three main ways:

1. We partner with local teacher training colleges
2. We engage in targeted community outreach
3. Facebook Advertising
4. Referral Programs
5. Before a teaching applicant can attend one of our Training Institutes they must first pass through a rigorous screening process. These are the basic benchmarks for all applicants—they are required to have the following minimum qualifications:
   • KCSE mean grade C for primary level teachers and D+ for ECD level teachers, 
   • P1 certification for primary level teachers and ECD certification for ECD lever teachers
   • TSC registration
